Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Attorney General: For the Year Ending, December 31, 1870 To the Honorable Speaker of the House of Representatives: Sir, - I have the honor to submit my Fourth Annual Report. During the last year, there have been the following trials for murder. 1. Indictment in Essex County against Albert Dwinnells, for the murder of Charles W. Whittier, by stabbing with a knife. The defence was that the act was done in self-defence, or by misadventure. Verdict, guilty of manslaughter. Sentence, twelve years' imprisonment. Trial, February 23-25. D. Saunders, Jr., and W. C. Endicott, for the prisoner. District Attorney Sherman assisted me in the prosecution. 2. Indictment in Norfolk County against John Phillips, William E. Hill and Maria Hill, for the murder of William Jacobs, by striking, beating and kicking him. In this case the prisoner Maria Hill was used as a witness on the trial against the other prisoners, and after the trial a nolle prosequi was entered as to her. The defence of the other prisoners was a general denial of having done the acts charged. Verdict, guilty of murder in the first degree, as to Hill; and guilty of murder in the second degree, as to Phillips. Hill was sentenced to death; but his sentence was afterwards commuted by the governor and council to imprisonment for life in the state prison: and Phillips was sentenced to imprisonment for life in the state prison. Trial, May 24-27. B. Sanford and W. Nichols, Jr., for the prisoner Phillips; J. Q. Adams and S. E. Floyd, for the prisoner Hill. District Attorney French assisted me in the prosecution.
